Conflicting claims of physical assault and obstruction
Presidential spokesperson Rafał Leśkiewicz claimed on X that the footage documents a crime. He alleged that “usurpers” attempted to prevent the President of the Republic of Poland from entering the Constitutional Tribunal and violated his inviolability.
Maciej Berek disputed this account, asserting that President Nawrocki did not enter the building but instead “physically attacked” TK Judge A. Korwin-Piotrowska and other tribunal judges. Berek further claimed that Judge Korwin-Piotrowska had proposed a meeting in “safe and dignified conditions,” but that the president instead chose “physical confrontation.”
